It's that day again. Every year this day just ...ugh. I dont' mind about getting older really. Not in an annual fashion anyway. I just don't like the sag. This sag where I look like me, but droopy. The weight I can lose, so even that doesn't truly bother me. It's my face. I like laugh lines; the skin...heading South....the corner of my eye being imperceptibly lower than it used to be. That bothers me.
I keep waiting for the time in my life when I will finally be thin, finally be straight-teethed, finally be beautiful. Um, whoops. I am thirty five. Better jump on that project, yah?
In related news, today already beats the pants off of the infamous two-people-remembered-my-birthday-but-only-after-3PM year of 2004 (my wonderful Grandmother and my friend Danny--hmmm who does that leave out???) N the blueberry has in fact informed P-daddy that he will be taking care of Momma today. G gave me several pieces of art, including a knotted, beaded necklace which of course, I will sport all day. I am going to give myself a spa morning, where I dye my hair and maybe even shave because God has in fact given me an additional gift as well; it's forecast to be about 77 degrees today, which will seem like heaven to me!
I linked to another blog because it is just that funny. I love her joke here about comments, and sometimes I feel just that way. I get an awful lot of traffic for no one saying anything.
Took you darn long enough to post!

ReplyDeleteHappy, Happy birthday! Hope you had a good evening ;). I just realized I drove all the way to Gig Harbor yesterday...and never saw your zoo. Ah well. next time, eh?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know how to edit the post earlier so I deleted it...sorry...
If it's worth anything, I did think about you. I just wasn't around to let you know.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday from one who's usually early but this year is late.
Thanks chicas! It was a good day.
ReplyDelete*D*, I would love to go shopping with you but thankfully not for maternity clothes (not for me anyway!!!!!!!!)
Want to know how scarring it was, ~A~? I still remember your gift from that year....a wolf prism. It's still on my bedroom sill (two bedrooms later) and just tonight G tried to score one at the Fred Myer because "you have one Mommy!"
Sorry I missed the party. It was great to see you Wednesday though. That beer was awesome. I owe you one.
ReplyDeleteAnd Happy Birthday! :)
